Re: Re: Quinovic acid v. quinolones

[Guest guest]

Well, I had an Achilles tendon problem after less than 2 weeks on

Samento. Problem lasted 3 months. Sure didn't seem like a coincidence

to me because I retested it once after quitting and the pain redoubled.

But to whom would I report it? A friend of mine emailed the

manufacturer about my case, but obviously they're not going to tell

anyone about it. They'll keep quiet and hope it doesn't happen to

enough people to hurt business. I didn't even want to tell people about

it because I know some who have been helped a lot by taking Samento.

Just the same, I really had to say something. I do think someone should

try to figure out what causes the problems and why. But nobody is

really responsible.
